Dreamscapes
Artwork for exhibition Obscure Milieu
These surreal dreamscapes by Natalja Heybroek fuse our desire for wilderness together with man-made form. What makes natural environments ideal to the human psyche, according to Environmental Phychology, are the elements of unity, legibility, complexity, and mystery. These works of art incorporate these elements, in search of hypnotic lightness.
They are a reflection of our ability to influence the connection we have to our surroundings, as the physical spaces we find ourselves in shape us as beings. Places are tangible landscapes of memories and new experiences. The cities we now call home, influence our feelings, behaviours, and sense of identity. For each person, an emotional relationship is developed to place.
Emergent Clarity
Acrylic on canvas | Four panels each 92 x 61 cm | 2023
There is trust in the process of discovering new ideas in the ever moving depths of vast knowledge. Each one of us searches the undercurrents of thought to bring insights to the surface. It is human nature to look, find and create a divine order to explain the complex world around us.

Metamorphic
Acrylic, metal, lapis lazuli and gold on canvas | 170 x 70 cm | 2021
The mind transitions, morphing between states of consciousness. Like metamorphic rock, which remains in a solid state while it gradually recrystallizes, the mind shifts within from fully awake to deep sleep.
Originally derived from the metamorphic rock lapis lazuli, ultramarine blue is the core colour used throughout this painting. The highlights in this piece of real lapis lazuli and gold, bring to the surface what was once transforming deep within the earth.
This commissioned artwork is in the home of a private collector in Amsterdam, hanging between artwork by Pablo Picasso, Damien Hirst, Herman Brood and Karel Appel. It hangs in a bedroom, viewed from the bed as it entices ethereal and spellbinding dreams.
